Magufuli sangamuthe malawi ife chomwe timadziwa mkuombela mmanja zitsiru zomwe zikutizumza mkutibela basi!
Kkkkkkkk koma Bwana Chimenya dont make me laugh. But I think you have got a point though its hilarious ✊✊
izi zomalimbila kuti president akhale Mmalawi ndizomwe zati kanikazi. Ife tufuna Magufuli akamaliza kwawoko abwele kuno tidzathila u citizen
OKAY
Well researched and presented.
You dont enact a law targeting somebody. What if people in diaspora with dual citizenship want to contest as President? We want them to be barred, thats unfair.
They will not allowed. Why be governed by a foreigner or someone whose one leg is in India and the other one Malawi
We want someone committed to his/her country, and avoid the ‘i don’t care attitude’ mukuziwa muli ndi kopita.
Amapanga renounce citizenship yakwinako then atha kupanga participate zakwathu kuno,,,,QED
